Once again there is reduction present and here it's enough to mask the fruit though wisps of spice are perceptible. Otherwise there is fine richness and volume to the velvet-textured medium-bodied flavors that brim with both minerality and sappy dry extract before culminating in a very firm, youthfully austere and gorgeously persistent finish. But what impresses me the most is the strikingly fine depth and this outstanding effort should amply reward extended keeping.
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Cros Parantoux exhibits aromas of raspberries, red cherries, orange rind, smoked duck and spices. On the palate, it's medium to full-bodied, deep and concentrated, amply endowed with powdery structuring tannins and underpinned by succulent acids. The finish is long and penetrating. Harvested on September 10, the Cros Parantoux attained fully 14.4 alcohol this year.
Decanter
Emmanuel Rouget has a bigger slice of Cros Parantoux (0.72ha) than Domaine Méo-Camuzet) and makes a wine that has more assertive oak in its youth, making it a little harder to taste from barrel. Everything is there to make a fine, ageworthy wine, it just needs time for the component parts to come together. Complex, racy and refined with sweet berry fruit, some underlying grip and the site's characteristic freshness.

Vinous
The 2018 Vosne-Romanée Cros Parantoux 1er Cru, matured in 100 new oak, has a more introverted, backward bouquet than the Beaumonts. It offers precocious blackberry and raspberry preserve scents, then crushed stone aromas. This feels mercurial as it develops floral aromas of incense and crushed violet with time in glass. The palate is well balanced, intense and supremely detailed, and there is outstanding tension and real heft on the finish. This Cros Parantoux is a paradigm of the old "iron fist in a velvet glove" cliché.
